Fremantle’s historic Victoria Hall set to go on market upon Fly By Night departure

Fremantle’s historic Victoria Hall looks set to be put up for sale once the Fly By Night Musicians Club moves out next month.

The High Street building, which was built in 1895, has been used as a dance hall, theatre and music venue over the years. It was also home to the Salvation Army during the 1980s and early 1990s.

In recent years it has hosted the Fly By Night, which was left stranded in 2014 after losing its previous home at the Artillery Drill Hall. But the club has struggled to make money and its lease will end in August.

Fremantle’s finance committee will on Wednesday consider a plan to put the historic building up for sale.

The city bought the hall in 2001 and has since spent about $2 million on restoration work.

According to the State Heritage Council the hall was designed by J Talbot Hobbs and originally called St John’s Parish Hall.

Built in stone it has distinctive Corinthian-style columns at the entrance and much of its original detailing and finishes inside remain intact.
